After completing the field work, you realize how much time and effort has gone into this decades long study. You find yourself wondering, what happened to the last two wolves on the island, and how the wolves that are being introduced to the island are doing.
Image files on the tablet show written notes of the introductions that have happened so far, as well as notes about the two wolves that were born on the island years ago.
